Description
Winner of the 2019-2020 Malott Prize for Recording
Community Activism Winner of the 2020 Richard
Frisbie Award for Adult Nonfiction from the
Society of Midland AuthorsFor readers of Dopesick
and Dreamland, journalist Jack Shuler explores
the current addiction crisis as a human rights
problem fostered by poverty and inadequate health
care in this 8220inightful look at how the
issues in Ohio affect the rest of the
country8221(Cosmopolitan, A Best
Nonfiction Book of the Year).Tainted drug
supplies, inadequate civic responses, and
prevailing negative opinions about people who use
drugs, the poor, and those struggling with mental
health issues lead to thousands of preventable
deaths each year while politicians are slow to
adopt effective policies. Putting themselves at
great personal risk (and often breaking the
law to do so), the brave men and women profiled
in This Is Ohio are mounting a grassroots effort
to combat ineffective and often incorrect ideas
about addiction and instead focus on saving lives
through commonsense harm reduction policies.Opioid
s are the current face of addiction, but as
Shuler shows, the crisis in our midst is one that
has long been fostered by income inequality, the
loss of manufacturing jobs across the Rust Belt,
and lack of access to health care. What is
playing out in Ohio today isn8217tonly about
opioids, but rather a decades8211log economic
and sociological shift in small towns all across
the United States. It8217salso about a larger
culture of stigma at the heart of how we talk
about addiction. What happens in Ohio will have
ramifications felt across the nation and for
decades to come.
